Penny @penny_mac created the Sierra cardigan from Rowan magazine 74 in Rowan Yarns Avocado Felted Tweed.

"I knitted size 3 but reduced the length by 6cm for a more cropped look. As soon as I saw this pattern I was obsessed with the colour and texture. I usually knit in the round so this was a bit out of my comfort zone and I learned a lot while making it. A super satisfying project and I haven’t stopped wearing it since I finished it".

Kym (@grandma.crochets) used a pattern created by Shelley Husband for World Granny Square Day 2024 with our Rowan Sock Yarn in colour 'Stone'. 

"The 'KimKym' square is a pattern created by Shelley Husband and named in honour of my crochet colleague (Kim Siebenhausen) and myself (Kym Craswell). How special! It is with much gratitude that I have used Shelley’s square to create this KimKym Scarf. 

Lu (@crochetwithlu) created her Cande Pullover by Sandra @nomadstitches using our Morris Avalon 4ply in Sapphire. 

"As we are approaching summer in Sydney, I'm going to be making an oversized tee instead of a pullover. Pima cotton will be comfortable, light and breathable to wear. These are all important aspects when selecting a pattern and yarn for a new project. And this stunning colour will look great for summer too!"

@knitting4dopamine used a vintage pattern from 1988 called the Funky Monkey Sweater (available on Etsy) and converted it to a Squirrel Monkey! This talented knitter used our Empire 8ply in shades Mineral Green, Cornflower, Glazed Ginger, Daffodil, Noir, Sesame and Soft White. 

"My niece always wants to have her favourite toy (her squirrel monkey) with her when she leaves the house. It was the first toy she was ever emotionally attached to and the first thing that sparked her interest in primates and the natural world. Unfortunately she can’t always take her monkey with her to school or out and about. So I adapted a vintage pattern and put her monkey on a jumper! Now she is never without her monkey, no matter where she goes".
